PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE
MICROWAVE ENERGY
Failure to observe the following safety precautions may result in harmful
exposure to microwave energy.
(a) Under no circumstances should any attempt be made to operate the
oven with the door open or to tamper with the safety interlocks (door
latches) or to insert anything into the safety interlock holes.
(b) Do not place any object between the oven door and front face or allow
food or cleaner residues to accumulate on sealing surfaces. Ensure that
the door and door sealing surfaces are kept clean by wiping after use
first with a damp cloth and then with a soft dry cloth.
(c) Do not operate the oven if it is damaged until it has been repaired by a
qualified microwave service technician trained by the manufacturer. It is
particularly important that the oven door closes properly and that there
is no damage to the:
(1) Door (bent)
(2) Door hinges (broken or loose)
(3) door seals and sealing surfaces
(d) The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone other than
a properly qualified microwave service technician trained by the
manufacturer.

INSTALLING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
Place the oven on a flat level surface 85 cm above the floor. The surface
should be strong enough to safely bear the weight of the oven.
1. When you install your oven, make sure there is
adequate ventilation for your oven by leaving at least
10 cm (4 inches) of space behind and, on the sides
of the oven and 20 cm (8 inches) of space above.
2. Remove all packing materials inside the oven.
Install the roller ring and turntable.
Check that the turntable rotates freely.
3. This microwave oven has to be positioned so that plug is accessible.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord or
assembly available from the manufacturer or its service agent.
For your personal safety, plug the cable into a 3-pin, 230 Volt, 50 Hz,
AC earthed socket. If the power cable of this appliance is damaged, it
must be replaced by a special cable.
Do not install the microwave oven in hot or damp surroundings like
next to a traditional oven or radiator. The power supply specifications
of the oven must be respected and any extension cable used must
be of the same standard as the power cable supplied with the oven.
Wipe the interior and the door seal with a damp cloth before using your
microwave oven for the first time.
SETTING THE TIME
Your microwave oven has an inbuilt clock. When power is supplied, “12:00”
is automatically displayed on the display.
Please set the current time. The time can be displayed in either the 12-hour
or 24-hour notation. You must set the clock:
• Whenyourstinstallyourmicrowaveoven

HOW A MICROWAVE OVEN WORKS
Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves; the energy released
enables food to be cooked or reheated without changing either the form or
the colour.
You can use your microwave oven to:
• Defrost
• InstantReheat/Cook
• Cook
Cooking Principle.
1. The microwaves generated by the magnetron are
distributed uniformly as the food rotates on the
turntable. The food is thus cooked evenly.
2. The microwaves are absorbed by the food up to
a depth of about 1 inch (2.5 cm). Cooking then
continues as the heat is dissipated within the food.
3. Cooking times vary according to the recipient used
and the properties of the food:
• Quantity and density
• Water content
• Initial temperature (refrigerated or not)
As the centre of the food is cooked by heat dissipation, cooking
continues even when you have taken the food out of the oven.
Standing times specified in recipes and in this booklet must therefore
be respected to ensure:
• Evencookingofthefoodrighttothecentre
• Thesametemperaturethroughoutthefood
CHECKING THAT YOUR OVEN IS OPERATING
CORRECTLY
The following simple procedure enables you to check that your oven is
working correctly at all times. Open the oven door by pushing the large
button in the bottom right-hand corner of the control panel.
First, place a bowl of water on the turntable. Then, close the door.
1. Press the Power Level ( ) button and set the time
to 4-5 minutes by pressing the 1 min button the
appropriate number of times.
2. Press the Start ( ) button.
Result : The oven heats the water for 4 to 5
minutes. The water should then be
boiling.
The oven must be plugged into an appropriate wall socket. The
turntable must be in position in the oven. If a power level other than the
maximum is used, the water takes longer to boil.
SETTING THE ENERGY SAVE MODE
The oven has an energy save mode. This facility saves electricity when the
oven is not in use.
• The oven will default to energy save mode after 5 minutes if not used.
While in energy save mode, the display is blank and the oven cannot
used.
• Toremoveenergysavemode,openthedoorandthendisplayshows
“0”. The oven is ready for use.
• Ifyouwanttouseenergysavemode,pressthe
